I’m having the same problem – anyone found a solution to this yet?
I found the fix!!!!
in simple-tags/inc/client.php
look for this code:
function autoLinkTags( $content = '' ) {
// Get currents tags if no exists
if ( $this->link_tags == 'null' ) {
$this->prepareAutoLinkTags();
}
and add in the following line of code right after:
$link_tags = $this->link_tags;
Same problem here after update to 1.7.4.4.
@sammyb,
thanks for the fix, it works great!
I hope the author sees this thread.
Ohmigosh. Thanks so much for that fix!
Thanks for sharing nice information.
SammyB you rock, plugin Author is a joke trying to get a hold of!
Awesome! Thanks for the fix.
Autolinking is working now, but it links every instance of a tag in a post. Is there a way to limit the autolinking to the first instance? Or can this feature be added to Simple Tags?
I don’t think this fix works at all, nor does it make sense, because $link_tags isn’t being used anywhere else in the function.
I get a different result every time I refresh a post page. The maximum number of links seems to be affected by changing the setting, but after refreshing the page, I get different links and there are often more of them than I’ve configured. Also, valid links are not created.
This has been going on since about 2 versions ago and I’m now on 1.8 (WP 3.0).
I’ve found the author on Twitter and sent him a message. I think for a great free plugin, we really shouldn’t be complaining about him too much.
